Apple is Apple. Fanboys will buy their products no matter how useless they get. I guarantee you there will be a line at ever Apple store if they released an iPhone 4s with everything being the same except they added 4G.

There's a reason Elpida is/went bankrupt... & now Apple wants to use them to stick it in Samsung's ass? Yeah, good luck with that Apple.

CrApple fans can now look forward to their devices being behind schedule, more expensive & possibly back to memory glitched again because of this company. THAT'S how it is probably going to hurt Apple; in the short future.

It seems to me that everyone (for the corporate most part) is willing to start biting the bullet & start conforming to lowering prices to a consumer conforming mind frame to get people back into a buying practice again.

Apple still thinks they can sit in their 80s stink & let every one else do the work for them while they continue to sell their bear skins & knives for prices higher than a cat's ass.

Still... CrApple still buys their screens from Samsung don't they? The only other manufacturer is Sharp. At least that's my understanding.

Without Jobs it seems Apple may go the same way of Dell and go from a quality product to a bargain product. Dell back in 2001/2002 was a premium product then they replaced basically every supplier of their parts from top notch parts to cheap and crap parts and their stock has suffered ever since.

I got confused there... You were saying that Apple was actually at one time a manufacturer/propagator of quality systems?
